I worked in termite control before I came to Prime. I can't tell you how many infestations started from a wood much flower bed

[@Dirty__Dan]

Never would have thought of using rubber for landscaping

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

That's great to hear that feedback! We weren't sure how many people know the benefits of rubber mulch since it isn't as common out there.

[@robertmott-smith433]

Thanks for your input. Really like you covering aspects of installing I had not thought about. Keep up the good work.

[@district5198]

Make red rubber mulch available in Canada. Would be nice, just saying

[@MartyRayProject]

Is this good for walking barefoot on?

[@lorit.3007]

it is! as long as it doesn't get to hot and melts to ur foot.. or the toxins of chemicals seep into ur pours on ur feet.. uts one of the easiest ways to pull things into the body.

Lori lori.... You haven't done your home work babygirl😂

Falso se decolora en 6 meses

[@Vipaworld_Vito]

What about an odor … Doesn’t the rubber give off an unpleasant odor ????

[@rieriec.36]

JUST 4 A COUPLE HOURS TO A DAY.

[@STOPTHEHATE70]

So I pick up 3 bags of black mulch (wood) and then was gonna go back for more and seen the rubber type, and watched your video. At 1st I was like, rubber that's insane, HOWEVER, after your video, I will be going the rubber route. From this short video I see more benefits of the rubber over than wood. Thank You, Vincent From NY.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Glad you found this video is helpful!!

[@Bdawg88]

What about when the dog shits on it

[@lorit.3007]

hope the dog shits on it...its natural. this is crazy..lol..

[@coryCuc]

Take a spoon out and eat it.

[@whodat9198]

Does this smell like old tires under the hot sun during summer?

[@rieriec.36]

I tried it a couple weeks ago...and it smelled like tires for 1 day...I don't smell it any longer

[@theresachiorazzi4571]

I like your idea never knew about it I’ll get some for my little garden Thanks a bunch.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Glad you found this video helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@joejordan5879]

Do you or will you offer a prilled variety of rubber to incorporate into artificial turf?

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Yes! We have smaller sizes such as 10-20 mesh that is currently being used for turf infill all over the US.

[@davidkemp7197]

What kind of discount are prime drivers going to get if any on mulch

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

David Kemp send us an email to [e-mail] and we can get you more info!

[@onetwocue]

Does this break down and feed plants like wood mulch?

[@rebeccaconnor3116]

Excited to try. Is it necessary to put landscape fabric down first?

[@ALIMOOSAVI-or5ns]

Why you sell it so expensive? You need to bring your price way down so peoples can buy it , you should sell 50 pounds for $10 then you be come az of billionaires ,

[@rieriec.36]

Comparable to mulch. Big bad at him depot 7 something a bag

[@peterwood7719]

​@rieriec.36 a yard of mulch is $12 while a super sack of rubber is $600 or so

[@flfbsphatboyblue8970]

I prefer to keep chemical leaching substances away from my gardens.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

As it turns out EcoSHRED’s Rubber Mulch is officially IPEMA Certified.

[@FatGuyInaTruck]

I've used the other style of rubber mulch in the past. I love it. Maybe try out this new stuff sometime.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

That's awesome to hear! We'd love for you to try out our brand of rubber mulch.

[@erinsaraf8153]

I keep seeing warnings about the rubber being flammable? So then what is the site to get the mulch? Thank you

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Wood is also a flammable material given the right circumstances. Currently we do not have any direct online purchase outlets set up. You can contact [e-mail] and we can put you in contact with the nearest retailer or potentially sell directly. Thanks for the questions, and for watching our video!

[@loveyourtaco8685]

One of the main reasons to use mulch is that it DOES break down, adding nutrients to the soil

[@brarautorepairs]

Forget that, I'm sick and tired of breaking my back annually in the flowerbed just to make it look good. At this point, I'm ready to set fire to the entire garden and drink beers instead.

[@toyarj37]

You can add nutrients

[@Garcia75232]

Who?

[@tomsnow51]

Thanks for video. I will look for your product when I go shopping.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Love it! Thanks for watching.

[@Bigboystrucks3832]

I am gonna try rubber mulch this time😃👍

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Go for it!

[@johnconway6976]

I'm going to guess that due to it's density the rubber mulch is less like to scatter with the use of a leaf blower.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Absolutely! There are so many perks to using rubber mulch.

[@IIIlIIIllIl]

I have read every comment section in this topic and can not find a single source of someone who actually used a leaf blower on this rubber mulch with verified success. Can someone please provide their experience with using a leaf blower on this stuff?

[@Soviless99]

@@IIIlIIIllIlHave fun gardening in rubber mulch! It gets absolutely everywhere if you ever plan on changing up the garden after you lay it! It looks great mixed in grassy lawns.

[@IIIlIIIllIl]

@@Soviless99I just hired a PI to investigate you and found out you work for a mulch company. Nice try though...

[@LoneWolf-el1oe]

what about carcinogens?

[@Soviless99]

I eat rubber mulch for breakfast and I feel stronger and flexy

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Carcinogens are the best!

[@MAX999MAX]

Prima is the Prime

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Thanks Ameen! We are happy to have this added initiative here at Prime Inc. to help us be even more ecofriendly.

[@wadecollier4757]

No benefit to the soil. Just a quick solution to "pretty". The soil is what makes your plants and trees do well in the long run.

[@PRIMEINCTRUCKING]

Thanks for watching our video, Wade!

[@twt000]

American culture....SMH. Eastern Europe has "natural" home gardens and are so much more beautiful.

[@lorit.3007]

That's right Wade..No benefits to the soil.. or the air or THE ECO system ,the BUGS,the water,,The animals and let's not forget The humans..The Trash pick up won't take a tire to put in a land fill.If you rent a dumpster they won't allow u to throw it in.. just put it ur yard ..lol.. Thank you Wade So happy to see someone has common sense. if I seem overly critical ..I am. I just learned of this today at a hard ware store. NEVER saw this in my life..

[@KateLB1027]

No benefit to the soil with rubber, but it’s solving other problems that we created to look “pretty.” If you want pretty you can use this; I’d you want benefits to your plants use soil (and not mulch unless your particular plant calls for it).
